The Traveler
La Strada Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up get up
To the dark of night
To start to a fire
You gotta make a light
You left your world behind
You got nothing to know
It's fine.
You always were a traveler
You're looking for love by light of fire
You yearn for a distant shore
Is it out there
Is there more

I'm shock in the middle of
Our beautiful storm

To l.a. to learn desire
To island town to stoke the fire
That burns to your aching heart
Now you're out there

Let's start

Was our love
Broken by steel
Is our land our heart or our heel
Cuz I gave my hope away
& i'll give it all again today

I'm shock in the middle of
Our beautiful storm

I got noone
Not even earth sky and sun
Only these dreams of yearning
Yearning I have become
Show me one true way to belong




That I can have love & it aint wrong
Here we go

The song begins with the person waking up in the dark of night and starting a fire, showing that they are alone and independent. They have left their world behind and have nothing to lose. The person is described as a "traveler" who yearns for a distant shore, which may symbolize their desire for something more meaningful in life.


Throughout the song, the traveler is trying to understand their place in the world and their own identity. They wonder if their love was broken by steel, which could represent external obstacles like distance or circumstances, or perhaps even internal struggles. The traveler questions whether their land, heart, or heel is the source of their pain, showing that they are introspective and trying to come to terms with their emotions.


Despite their struggles, the traveler remains hopeful and willing to take risks for love. They have given their hope away before, but are willing to give it all again. The song ends with the traveler asking for guidance and a sense of belonging.


Overall, The Traveler is a poignant and introspective song about the human experience of searching for meaning and connection, even in the face of adversity.

3 Jahre Wartezeit? Ganz schön heftig! Wenn ich da so lange drauf warten soll, hat man wahrscheinlich keine Lust mehr. Und in dieser Zeit kann viel passieren! Viel zu lange

Da lobe ich mir meinen Clever Runner aus 2020, fully loaded gerade mal für ein Drittel des aufgerufenen Preises. 180T ist echt derb.
